§ Dr. WrightTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if the advisory non-departmental public body sponsored by the Scottish Courts Administration(a) holds public meetings, (b) conducts public consultation exercises, (c) conducts consultation exercises with outside interests, (d) publishes a register of members' interests, (e) publishes agendas for meetings and (f) publishes the minutes of meetings; and if in each case this is (i) under a statutory requirement or (ii) voluntary.

§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonThe Scottish Law Commission does not hold public meetings, publish a register of commissioners' interests or publish agendas or minutes of meetings. The commission does hold public consultation exercises and consultation exercises with outside interests. It does so voluntarily in order to carry out effectively its statutory duty to keep the law under review and make proposals for its reform.
